Petoskey water advisory ends

A boil advisory that affected some water customers on Petoskey's western outskirts was lifted Sunday, two days after a joint break in a water main had prompted city officials to issue it.

"The water is safe," Petoskey Department of Public Works water division supervisor Lee Arman said today, Monday.

City officials targeted the advisory toward customers in the Vantage View and Lenhill Court subdivisions, as well as several more nearby along Greenwood Cemetery Road.

The break along the transmission main occurred during the afternoon on Friday, with repairs completed that evening. Because of the interruption in service, officials advised residents to boil water that they would be consuming as a precaution.

This advisory was lifted about 8:30 p.m. Sunday when water-test results from the area were returned and showed no cause for alarm.

"All the bacteria samples passed," Arman said. "The boil water (advisory) is lifted."
